DIVISION BLACK NOISE - EXILED BY THE LIGHT 
One of the best traditional black metal albums iv heard recently.It has a lot of the dynamics and technique of old school black thrash. A lot of actual riffs,chord progressions and solos. While still remaining primitive and lofi as hell. It has elements of dsbm in the atmospheric cold production but its layered atop blast beats and all the lyrics are satanic. Summoning the Horned God is the best song on here. Discernible anthemic ritualistic vocals.

AKITSA - CREDO
Layers of guitar noise collaged together into harrowing walls of chaos invoking visions of pure misanthropy. Abstract sound sculptures painted with the remains of the 2nd wave. The vile sound of hordes of lesser dsbm/blackgaze acts being tortured to death in the deepest abysses of hell. There are some break downs and clean sections and deviations from form. But as a whole this is a top tier effort from one of my favorite acts.
*
VULGAR PIGEONS - IMPERIALISM
Boring failed attempt to sound like Repulsion & early Extreme Noise Terror. Results in a drunken mix of crust and grindcore. There are some good high end tormented shrieking vocals fighting to be heard above the blast beats accented by some death grunts & growls. Not much gurgle and sludge to be found on this record. This would benefit from more misanthropic lyrics. The short length of most of these songs is likely the result of there inability to shred like Gorgasm.. I'm unsure whether the song Bullet Belt Committee is satirical or serious...Profane Existence hippies trying to play metal...

JUDAS ISCARIOT - AN ANCIENT STARRY SKY
This is great stuff. Violent shredding primitive black metal assault. Transylvanian Hunger meets Under the Sign of Hell with some Vlad Tepes/Mutiilation dissonance and atmosphere. There's very few detours into ringing arpeggio breakdowns and this is free of any postmetal blackgaze detrius. Just pure lofi black metal. The distortion on the drums sounds a little like a digital distortion effect applied in post processing to artificially degrade the drum sound. Like he was trying too hard to make this sound like shit. But not everybody has Skogsberg's magic or Bathory's garage....

I used to record shit out in the woods. Not for Kvlt reasons, i was too broke to afford a practice space. You can't record good shrieking power electronics/black metal vocals in an apartment without scaring the neighbors and summoning law enforcement. So portable recording equipment and the woods is necessary.

This is very likely part of the reason you hear so much lazy bedroom black metal where the vocalist is just cupping and whisper hissing into a mic with the gain jacked up through distortion.
No risk of waking the neighbors or tearing your throat.

Same can be said of all the burping growling pitch shifter shit on porno gore grind gurgle records...
It's soulless. It's lazy. And you know if they got lazier and just quit bothering to even use guitars it would actually sound better: Someone should just buy a chainsaw and stick a couple microphones on it, feed a pig some laxatives, stick the chainsaw up its ass, you got the shitting pig noise, the chainsaw hacking through the pig rectum, and the squealing screaming pig... Low end growling vocals,guitar shredding and your high pitched lead vocals. beat the corpse with a hammer for the drum track. Then you got the most brutal sounding gore grind track ever! And a nice mess you can use for album covers & packaging... If you can't find any pigs to slaughter; then find a Juggallo or anybody wearing a Mortification shirt. They Deserve it.

Or better yet just do it on-stage at Milwaukee Metal Fest.....


"CHAINSAW RECTAL INSERTION DISEMBOWELMENT ON A TIED-UP JUGGALLO" is also a great song title.
